    Was he slurring the whole time, or did I imagine that? I don't remember that from his SNL days.

    Changed the channel after the umpteenth time Jimmy did his tongue-in-cheek routine. I mean, literally. That annoying shtick Fallon does where he sticks his tongue in his cheek to keep from laughing at his own "inside" jokes?

    Bad suit. They should have styled him like the hipster he really is and try to get that audience type interested.

    I had more laughs at the Unicorn Puppet in the first 5 minutes of Craig Ferguson than the entire Jimmy Fallon Trainwreck.


    I still don't see how Silverman stays employed.

    This is like in early '68 when Cream was the house band for the Dick Cavett Show.

    I may be in the minority but for some reason I always kind of liked Fallon. Perhaps I had some sort of expectations for last night but I was pretty disapointed. "Space Train"?! Also, having nerves is one thing, but after months of preperation the best they can come up with is having an audience member lick a lawnmower?


    I see what they were trying to do with DeNiro but having him as a first guest was a terrible idea. If I'm Fallon, why would I put myself in that situation? A big personality first guest who can take over an interview would have been a smart idea, like Letterman going with Bill Murray, twice. Actually, Timberlake would have probably been a much better choice.

    Remember when Bush was first elected in 2000 and you felt this incredible sinking feeling because you knew deep in your gut that it was going to turn out to be a soul-crushing four years, maybe even more? -- Well, that's how I feel about Fallon's tenure as a talk show host.

    @i'm a bottle: A soul crushing EIGHT years, and that feeling in our guts was a shaft up our asses. But I'm sure Fallon would have the sense to bow out gracefully if he couldn't cut it.

    @Pandemic1444: @OwenKlient: @Almostbanned: I guess I ought to be happy if Fallon avoids invading Letterman on false pretenses and waterboards his guests while making awkward conversation. He can invade Leno though because that is a justified invasion. The Security Council would be behind him on that one.

    Some fun bits and I'll write offf a lot of the problems to rookie errors and nerves, but couple things raise red flags:

    -- Set looked like leftovers from "Rent" or an old SNL design.

    -- Put that against the old fashioned blue curtain for unwanted dissonance.

    -- I liked the Slow Jam on the news, and hope it stays, although it felt a lot like Jon Stewart's fake R.Kelly bit.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: The set is obviously intentionally like that, although I don't think the hipster-ish raw, unfinished look thing really works on network TV... or maybe they just didn't execute it well.

    I liked Conan's cameo too. After laying out all of his great guests for Week One, Jimmy then names the lineup for Week Two: "We have Gervase from Survivor... and Right Said Fred." Fucking awesome. And Conan didn't dominate the short sketch, which made for a nice transition of power. I'm... actually ROOTING for Jimmy? Sigh!
